Cyrus W. Fairley, the well known grocer and livery stable proprietor at
Hillsboro, is descended from one of the old pioneer families of Highland county.
His grandfather was James Fairley, above mentioned, who came to Ohio from
Rockbridge county, Virginia, in 1815 and settled on the farm in Paint township
afterward owned by Joseph Patton. Among his eleven children was James Y.
Fairley, born in Highland county, Ohio, December 25, 1822, and married in 1844
to Rosanna, daughter of Richard Barrett, an early settler of Paint township. The
children of this union, consisting of five sons and five daughters, were Sallie
J., wife of Joseph Dwyer, of Paint township; Nannie E., wife of Valentine Graff,
of Iowa; Cyrus W., further sketched below; David M., farming on the old
homestead; Richard B., superintendent of the new chair factory; Mary, deceased,
wife of Barney Grimm, a farmer of Penn township; John W., a shoe merchant of
Greenfield ; C. Grant, farming in Fairfield township ; Ella, who died in
girlhood ; Wilma P., living at Hillsboro. Cyrus W. Fairley, third of the above
enumerated children, was born in Highland county, Ohio, August 30, 1849, and
reared on his father's farm in Paint township. In August, 1897, he came to
Hillsboro and embarked in the grocery business, which he has since continued
with success and now has a very fair trade. As a side line, he added the livery
business, which he has conducted for four years, and in the spring of 1902
purchased the Jacob Uhrig stock on Beech street, adjoining the Clifton House,
where he has since enjoyed an increased patronage. August 22, 1876, Mr. Fairley
was married to Hannah E., daughter of Martin S. and Margaret B. Swain of Clinton
county. Mrs. Fairley is a sister of William Swain, who was for many years
superintendent of schools at Montgomery, Ohio. Charles W. Swain, another
brother, is a prominent attorney at Wilmington, Ohio, and Emma, a sister, is the
wife of James L. Fullerton, a shoe dealer of Greenfield. The children of Mr. and
Mrs. Fairley are Charles E., born in July, 1878, and farming in Fairfield
township; Rosa B., a graduate of the Hillsboro high school residing at home; and
Herman, a partner with his father in the grocery business.
